Banana Honey Ricotta Muffins

I was using up a bit of this and that the other day and put together this quick little muffin with the two bananas, left over ricotta cheese and buttermilk that I had in the fridge.

They are moist and have a tender crumb with just a touch of sweetness.

2 medium very ripe mashed bananas

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/2 cup ricotta cheese

1/3 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons liquid honey

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 egg

1/3 cup natural bran

Stir together all above ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Add in the dry ingredients below.

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3. Stir until just combined and spoon into 12 medium cupcake liners.
4. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 20 minutes. While the muffins are baking, warm a tablespoon of honey to make it runny and brush over the muffins as soon as you remove them from the oven. Return to the oven for a few minutes to glaze the muffins. Test with a toothpick to be sure they are baked through and the toothpick tests clean.

PatsyAnne, I don't see why not....just increase the flour by a few tablespoons. If you know what muffin batter consistency is normally like and can make that adjustment to be a batter that doesn't run....it should be totally fine.
